Rip off gyms

My University gym is just £25 a year. However, I'll be finishing soon so I've been checking out prices.

It's shocking. With my present state of finances I just can't afford any of them.

- the only cardio I use is the rowing machine. Most of the expensive equipment is cardio so is a waste

- workout at home doesn't seem to happen. There's something about going somewhere that actually makes it happen.

Does anyone know of any cheaper options?

- syndicates where gym equipment is bought using shared funds and shared equally?
- cheaper gyms; I prefer gritty gyms. Where do the low paid boxers train?

Here's some prices in the UK:

(~$70/month average)

my local independant gym - £35/month ($65)

cannons -
• Registration fees between £75-£285
• Monthly membership fees £39-£66 - club dependent ($72-$122)

David Lloyd - £48/month ($88)

top notch - £25 - £55 - club dependent ($100)

virgin - £42 ($77)

holmes - Prices vary. Typically £45 - £60 per month ($83-110)
